As part of its training course for young people in Ghana, Pillow Fight Championships Ghana has organized a one-day training progamme for some schools in Accra.
In a chat with Sellassie K.A. Sokpe of betterrghandigest.com, Mr. Olla Williams President and founder of PFC Ghana stated that the rationale was to introduce the children to pillow fight as a professional sport and to encourage them to develop their potential in the game.
Specifically, he said the objective of the programme was to teach the participants essential techniques in winning points during a fight game and how to effectively engage in the sport.
Participants were taken through the rules and regulations of pillow fighting and also the benefits as well as opportunities that pillow fighting presents on the international front by Mr. Olla Williams.
Over 200 children from Gyemah Preparatory & Junior High School located at Sukura and Oral Roberts Preparatory & Junior High School located at Dansoman participated in the programme.
The programme which lasted between 9 am to 2 pm took place at the Lord Commey AstroTurf at Sukura, a suburb of Accra in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
Addressing the participants, Mr. Emmanuel Ollla Williams reemphasized that Pillow Fight was a safe sport and had great potential to take the children to international championships.
He charged the children to share the knowledge and skills they have acquired from the training with their peers who were not able to take part in the programme.
Charles Oteng Acquah, Ms Juliana Kwaning and Mr. Noah Boakye officiated the demonstrative fights which were organised after the education on the rules of the game and the techniques for scoring points during a pillow fight.
The children who were accompanied by their teachers expressed their gratitude to the organisers and called upon them to provide them with the necessary kits to enable them to practice the sport in their various schools during their games sessions.
Also in attendance were Rev. Daniel Johnson the head teacher for Oral Roberts Preparatory & Junior High School as well as Mr. Gyemmah Nekeda the proprietor of Gyemah Preparatory & Junior High School who is also the Chairman for zone 6B of the Ghana National Association of Private School (GNAPS).
